United States superstar Clint Dempsey announced his retirement on Wednesday, ending a 14-year career that spanned two countries, four club teams and one of the best international careers in American history.

The Texas native naturally received a grand sendoff on social media, from every team and player he’s impacted.

I remember first time I saw @clint_dempsey play. He was a long-haired rookie so I already liked him, but when I saw the courage & personality in his game I immediately knew he was special. Players like Clint only come around so often, feel so fortunate I got to play by his side. pic.twitter.com/HZyWjz4MCs
